If I was given this blindfolded I might mistake it for some sort of brandy. It's smooth enough, but a bit on the sweeter side - I'm not a sugar eater, so I'm more apt to notice added sugar in things. I'm sure that many would not find it sweet.

I really prefer Jamaican rums. I tried this because it was on sale. Certainly nothing to regret, unlike a few bottles that I've wasted money on, but not something that I will buy again

Great price for a nice toffee tasting sipper my first post forgive my neivete. Just getting into this rummy life. Bourbon getting too expensive. And I love history of Caribbean.

Use the rum for in the mix and cocktails. No complaints about the flavor.

Too sweet for sipping, but is a good affordable mixer

It's harsh, I couldn't enjoy the taste.
Noticed some caramel and vanilla. ElD 8 is a better rum.
I think it could be ok for cocktails.

This is a fine rum, but doesnt quite have the demerara qualities you may be looking for. Not overly sweet, and fine in a cocktail. You could drink it neat, but it's not overly memorable. I recommend spending a few dollars more and getting the 8-year.

From the outside it may seem uninspiring, but don't judge a book by its cover. It may be just aged for 5-years, but those were years well spent. This is a delectable choice for casual rum connoisseurs. It is a superb choice for young novices. And a distinguished choice for us Captains! El Dorado 5-year has a nice saffron goldeness that warms your heart right up. Smooth every drop. Down the hatch like a champ! Paraded with a mild sweetness with a faint note of silky vanilla-orange, and a quick rum punch that gently lingers... if only for a while longer. Enjoy! And Rum to ya!!

This rum has a beautiful reddish tinge to it's amber colour, and with little/no alcohol smell it's very inviting. Even when mixed with cola, you can still immediately taste a little smokiness which provides some richness to the drink. This aged rum gives some nice depth to an easy-drinking smooth rum and cola. One of my favourites.

This one comes in a little lower than the others in El Dorado's line, albeit a pretty good line to be in. Certainly a contender in it's price range, if not one of the best.
